The cathedral glowed with sunlight as Claire glided down the aisle, her ivory gown trailing behind her. Daniel’s heart pounded, overcome with love as he watched the woman he was about to marry. Guests held their breath, enchanted by the fairytale unfolding before them. But just as she reached the halfway mark, something happened that didn’t belong in a fairytale. The satin rippled strangely, as though something moved beneath it. A faint rustling followed, and Daniel’s smile faltered. He leaned forward, whispering her name, as the entire room waited to see…

The Wedding Surprise No One Saw Coming

The cathedral was bathed in golden light, its stained-glass windows casting ribbons of color across the marble floor. Guests whispered and fanned themselves, their voices a mix of excitement and nerves. Roses filled the air with sweetness, carrying the promise of a perfect day. At the altar, Daniel stood stiff and restless, his tie tugged one too many times, his pulse racing as he waited for his bride, Claire.

The First Glimpse

The organ thundered to life, and instantly, the room shifted. Conversations hushed as heads turned toward the towering wooden doors. And there she was—Claire—radiant in ivory silk, her veil catching the light like spun sugar. Her father beamed with pride as he led her forward. Daniel’s chest tightened; his throat ached with emotion. He loved her so deeply it hurt.

But just as she reached the halfway mark, something happened that didn’t belong in a fairytale.

The Ripple

At first, Daniel thought it was nerves playing tricks on him. A subtle ripple ran through the lower folds of her gown, quick enough to dismiss as shadows. But then it came again, unmistakable this time—something shifting beneath the satin.
